Imagine you've just talked your way into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto, but instead of being thrown out, you're invited to spend the day with your idol. That's what happened to 14-year-old Jerry Levitan in 1969. Lennon and Yoko Ono took a liking to the young Canadian, giving him an informal 40-minute taped interview unlike any other, and allowing him to shoot photos and home movie footage. Now a musician, filmmaker, and lawyer in Toronto (where he is known to Canadian children as the loopy entertainer Sir Jerry), Levitan offers his vivid impressions of that life-changing day and the adventures that followed. The book, illustrated throughout with rare photos, ephemera, and James Braithwaite's ink cartoons, includes a DVD of Levitan's original film footage and audiotape. (Please note, Josh Raskin's animated film of the same is not included.)
